Historical research doesn't bear this out. The Italian fascists took power as the result of a putsch and Hitler was made chancellor deliberately, *after* he hit his electoral ceiling. Franco won a civil war.

lol you’ll never guess WHY there was a civil war in Spain Hitler came to power in the aftermath of the greatest market crash in history. Fascism in Italy came in the immediate aftermath of the Great War
